THE CHOPIN RECITALS, The ninth of Mr, Carl Wolfsohn'’s Chopin re- citals occurred at Standard Hall last Saturday afternoon, the programmne heing as fullows: Polonalscs in C sharp minor and in E flat minor, op. 26, Nos. 1 and 2; four mazurkar, {n F sharp miuor, G major, G iinor, and B minor; Tarantelle In A flat major, op. 43; and tho Fantasic in F minor, op. 40. The polonaises are what inight becealled * boarding-schoul " compo- sltluns, for cveryhody drums them in the parlor and In the school. Of the wumerous mozurkgs of Chopln, Mr. Wolfsohn's selee- tiom of the above-mentioned four was an excellent one, for they {llustrated satisfactorily ‘the varfous styles of Chopin's mazurkas, each of which has such numerous pretty little metodies, following cach other in rapid successton, which would give many a com- poser ninpte. materinl for writing o mnclodious concerto, The Tarantella is alwnys sure to please an audience, as its rapld tempos are very tu!;_lng. Fantasle was the feature of the pro- gromme, 1t belongs, as we mentloned o week 470, to the grentest of Chopln's compositions sieh as the Allegro de Concert,—to be playe next Saturdny,—the fourth Batlade, and the Bacearole, which were written in the latter perfod of Chopin's life, all of which show greater breadth and depth than those of the carlier periods. The Fantasle beging with o very smmbre funcral-march, forming the greater art of tlo composition, broken rather sbruptly, cre and there, bi’ short syncopated passages, which give to the ¢ reary colors of the composi- tion @ rather passlonate and finpetuons ex- pressfon. 'The performance of this number, played with that dlscriminato phrasing on nicety of coloring for which Mr. Wolfsohn js noted, formed o delightful and ngreenble con. trast to the lighter and less difileult uuwbers of thie programmic. The voeal portlonof the concert was not up to the stundard of former. recitals. It con- sisted of four of Mendelrohn's songs,—Zu- letka,” *Sun of the Bleepless,” * Crad ong,” and “Spring Song,"—sung by Miss Emma M.

As ot each recitul there has been one number which formed the climax of the rro— mine, 80 next Suturday’s programine will be the climax of ihu ten recitals, 1t will consist of two Polonnises, In A major, (*militairo™) and C minor; three Nociurnes, h B fint minor, ¥ flat major,and B major; two Impromptus, In ¥ sharp major an G fat majors and tho Allegro de Concert} besldes six simple songs of Chopln, tobe sung f:y Mrs. O.

The programme for once was carricd out as snnounced, and conslsted of tho first ond fourth acts of “Trovatore;” the sccond aet “Der Frelschuotz,” and the sccond act of #Lu- cretln Borgin” To Madame Pappenhelm we can only award the greatest prafse.

First, they were made to pay blvod mouey to tho politicians and Federal officers for the priv- flege of running crooked; then thelr henthen nttorhoys taxed them enormous fees for geiting " them convicted and sent to prisan; then bail was forfelted and paidj then the Government sclzed all their property, and so with a rulned business, o penniless family, a blasted reputa- tion, und a hopeless future, thelr punishment is very great, whilo some of the Lz sinners for whom thelr money was spent like water still gounwhipped of justice. Hero, for ox- ample, arc two young men who were only In the rectifying business for six months. The Govern- ment selzed all their property, and the Court, after an expensive trlal, sent them to jail.
